"On the ground, now, with your hands behind your head," a muffled voice demanded.Another hazmat-clothed figure moved near Caleb. It was smaller figure... with an instrument in its hands, and it started waving a wand at him."Not now, Janis," another muffled voice commanded, and the person with the wand moved away, still waving the wand at everything that wasn't native to the desert.Something hit Caleb in the fold of his knees causing his knees to buckle, and he dropped to his knees on the sharp.
